Konami's Announcements - Do I give a fuck?

So on Monday Konami announced that they were going to make some announcements in celebration of the one year anniversary of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. I decided to rate how much I give a fuck regarding these announcements using a scale of four smiling Kojimas, in which four Smiling Kojimas means that I need to change my boxers before my girlfriend suspects something, and zero means that I'd rather read about how Ahmadinejad is hot or not. Let's roll.

On Tuesday, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was re-released in North America as a GREATEST HIT title--meaning it's $29.99 and has a red case. We already knew about this.
0/4 Smiling Kojimas - I already own Guns of the Patriots. Metal Gear fans who already own a PlayStation 3 no doubt already do as well. The only way for anyone to give a shit about this is if they wanted to get someone a copy as a gift. Even then, most retailers were already selling copies for $30.

On Wednesday, Metal Gear Online added a Shadow Moses map and "Solid Snake" as a playable character. That's cool, I guess. You need to be scene to get it though. Sorry brother.
2/4 Smiling Kojimas - To be fair, I rarely play Metal Gear Online. I also have never purchased an expansion pack. However, the Shadow Moses map sounds good.

On Thursday, Metal Gear Solid was re-released on the North American PlayStation Network Store for $9.99. We already knew about this. Also, shit like this makes me cringe.
3/4 Smiling Kojimas - I already own the original Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation. I also can already play MGS on my PSP using custom firmware. Still, it's nice to see tried-and-true games makes a grand appearance. Fuck The Twin Snakes, this is the real deal right here.

So what about today? It seems like my "give a fuck" meter gradually goes up day by day! Surely today something epic is going to be revealed, right? Well, today, Friday, a Metal Gear Online tournament was announced for the United States because once again North America = USA#1LOL. Once again, you gotta be scene and you gotta hurry up and sign up because it's limited and, well, you really want to be in it right?
-2/4 Smiling Kojimas - I really don't give a fuck.
---
Keep in mind that the "give a fuck" meter is actually only accurate in the United States. Europe probably has a 0/4 rating on most of the above. Will there be more announcements? Who knows. I'm going to bet that the MGO Tournament was Konami's grand finale. I'm really amazed at how their PR always manages to overhype shit.

July, MGS PSN save file
Posted on July 01, 2009 08:00 by Ravi Singh
New poll.
Last month's poll results are in the poll archive.
Updated the unique user count below.
Working on an article. Should be up soon. One of my projects, Project J is seeing some bumps on the road. The other which involves an outside party is in it's usual slow stage. You guys are totally going to love both of them.
Meanwhile, L1QU1D 5N4KE 22 submitted a save file for the recently released PlayStation Network version of Metal Gear Solid. Enjoy.
